Oh, me too! I was so fed up with all the unfiltered spam that I could not face my Yahoo email account for months, and came back last night to over 1,000 spam messages in my in box! How hard can it be to filter for the word p---s? There should be a whitelist and a customizable spam filter, for starters. Thanks!

Old blog postings now invisible to Google searches

Why can't I get any results searching for topics from older blog posts? AOL "powered by Google" can't find my old AOL Journal at all (0 results), and even older Blogger posts don't turn up any more. Do they "age off"? Even tagging doesn't change the results. I used to be able to look up when I wrote X (or someone else did) and link to it, but no more.

Good one! There are lots of book bloggers out there, plus agents, editors and writers writing about their field. – Mavarin, on September 18, 2008 22:29

How about commentary? Many bloggers are essentially commenting on the world around them, from the latest tech to politics, from book reviews to the cute thing the dogs, kids, or husband did today. Like personal, it would be a good catchall for people who don't blog about just one thing.

Lots of blogs, including mine, aren't about just one thing. Personal would be a reasonable catchall.. – Mavarin, on September 18, 2008 22:19
